Have you ever tried roasted radishes? If you’ve only had them raw in salads or sandwiches, you’re in for a treat. Roasting transforms radishes into a flavorful side dish that’s mellow, tender, and slightly sweet. Whether you’re looking to try a new veggie or add more variety to your plate, roasted radishes are an easy (and delicious!) place to start.

I love topping these off with a bit of garlic powder, a few cracks of black pepper, a sprinkle of parmesan, and a spritz of lemon juice, but the possibilities are endless. You can experiment with other herbs like thyme, paprika, or rosemary and enjoy them as is or toss them into grain bowls and salads.

This recipe requires less than 30 minutes from start to finish and requires only a few simple ingredients. Plus, you can even save the radish greens; set them aside and blend into homemade pesto, pair with other greens in your next salad, or sauté with a little olive oil for a healthy side dish. Enjoy!
